MODERN WARFARE 2 MYTHBUSTERS: EPISODE 1


I wish other people were like me and have given themselves a chance to become completely addicted to Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode. No one seems to be playing it though. The single player was cool and all but... wait, excuse me a second. What's that? Oh.. everyone and their mom is playing Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer online? How foolish of me. I should have known.

So many people, so many exploits, and so many myth's. But fortunately for those of us who continue to play Modern Warfare 2 on a daily basis, even when all it does is piss us off to no end and has us screaming, "You've got to be kidding me! Screw you and your dual shotty's," there is defendthehouse.com that brings the MW2 myths to light, and confirms or debunks them. Much like the TV version of Mythbusters. Pretty smart idea. I'm not sure how many episodes they can get out of it but needless to say, their first episode is enlightening for hardcore fans of the #1 First Person Shooter in the world. Good luck to them and I hope to see other game myth's debunked in the future.
